Although Niall  can speak  for himself I  must say that  I had  the impression
Niall was  speaking of  the future  - you, Eric,  working at  an EARN  site on
LISTSERV and distributing it via EARN  and the FRMOP22-CUNYVMV2 link to "ROWN"
(rest-of-world-net).
And let's not  forget that Eric is  promoting a solution he  doesn't like very
much - and before  flaming him (because he's the only  one who exposes himself
in this discussion) we should consider the background of all this.
